United then had a reprieve when an offside Sigurdsson was found to be obstructing De Gea's line of sight after Calvert-Lewin thought he had won it for Everton.
Following the game, the focus was more so on De Gea's latest error - seven of his mistakes have led to opposition goals this season - than his redemptive stops.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was asked if, this summer, he would be recalling Dean Henderson, who is having a fine season while out on loan to Sheffield United. The Norwegian responded:
"We want the best possible squad for Man United and Dean's our player. He's doing really well at the moment, and the day he comes back he's obviously fighting to play here as well. "But David's shown his reaction, the way he made amends and saved Sigurdsson's goal, or chance, at the end. David's the best goalkeeper in the world. Dean is a very good challenger and then Sergio's a decent challenger as well. "We want a squad full of quality and with competition. If you want to survive at the top you need to bounce off competitions from right, left and centre. "He went through a difficult patch last season, definitely, but David's been very, very good this season. I can't really remember any errors I'd go to now, apart from Watford one [Ismaila Sarr's goal]. I trust David 100% in the goal."22-year-old Henderson has kept nine clean sheets in the Premier League this season and is behind only Alisson (Liverpool) and Ederson (Manchester City) in that regard. Should The Blades secure European football for 2020/21, they could try and tempt Henderson to make his loan move permanent. Solskjaer may have some convincing to do to get the young goalkeeper back as he will surely not be content to sit behind the 2019 and 2020 De Gea vintage.
